The famous and beloved "fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy" lands in Northern Kentucky this weekend, and yes, the Millennium Falcon, talking about we are.
The ship comes to the BB&T Arena at Northern Kentucky University April 27-29 to help promote "Solo: A Star Wars Story," in theaters May 25.

The Falcon is open Friday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. -- after that, it light-speeds off to another location.
The event is free, with timed tickets provided on a first-come, first-served basis. Learn more on the , and watch the trailer for "Solo: A Star Wars Story" -- which provides a look at the Falcon -- below.
